You are welcome TB. I will do a little research (ask a question or two) and see if I can ascertain their status and location.

I finally had a little time this morning and made my way to the Auburn Yard. There I found Dave operating the Auburn Local and switching gondolas, used to transport Nucor Steel Company rebar. I asked him about the location and status of the two cabooses, FGLK 201 & 202. He stated both were in Geneva, out of service and need of significant repair, to bring them back on line. He liked to use them, but the other engineers that work the Auburn Local did not. Based on the cost to repair and the majority dislike for them, he doubts they will be returned to service.

Finger Lakes Railway Track Project Update.

Installation is complete and the new spur, next to the O-I Runaround, is in service, as evident by the cut of covered hoppers set out on it. The Mainline is to the left, Runaround in the middle, and the new spur to the right.

With this project completed, focus has been shifted to the Auburn Yard Track Project.

More updates to follow.

Along with pictures of the Finger Lakes Railway, I occasionally take videos as well. I administer a youtube channel for the model railroad club I belong to, and post them there. I believe there are currently three FGLK videos on the channel, with more to follow. The channel's name is "Cayuga Valley", for the Cayuga Valley Model Railroadres. Ill post the link below.

It's a cold and blustery day, as the Finger Lakes Railway Auburn Local Engineer makes his way back to the end of his train, where he will ride the last car during a backing move into the yard. The gondolas carry Canadian National, Atlantic & Western, Grand Trunk Western and Bessemer & Lake Erie reporting marks.
